Blessing and Light : A Joyful Giveaway!

It has allowed me to indulge in two things I love: writing and photography.

And it has put me in touch with some incredible women.

One of those gals is named Jacinta. She’s from Minnesota, and she runs this gorgeous Etsy shop called Blessing and Light.

Jacinta wrote me a note a few weeks ago, asking if I would mind her sending me this beautiful paver she’d designed. She’d found my blog through a comment I’d left on another, and just felt in her heart that this stone was mine.

Would I mind? Would I mind?!

Someone was about to send me something they’d made with their own two {oh-so-talented} hands, just because …

Truly, is that not a beautiful gesture?

As soon as I read her message, I had to go and glance at her shop, and I immediately fell in love. Her products have this beautiful, delicate, but rustic look to them, and each one inspires. I connected with the very first product I glanced at …

One of my other favorite products was a set of magnets. Again, hand-poured little pieces of art made by Jacinta’s hands. This set of 4 is called the Wise Words collection and it includes another of my all-time favorite quotes: “Do small things with great love.” {Mother Theresa}

Jacinta is so generous, when I mentioned wanting to buy the magnets, she wouldn’t hear of it. She sent me two. One for me, and one because I’d like to continue the random acts of kindness by sending one to a lucky reader!

I’m also including a $10 gift card to Dunkins, because nothing says Hey friend, I want you to embrace the joy better than a large iced coffee, right?

So c’mon, kiddos, enter today, and share with your family and friends. They deserve to be in on the fun, too.

What a fantastic shop-so glad you shared this today! I absolutely love the Wise Words magnets, but I think one of my favorites has to be the “Do Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly” paver. Well, that and the bookends, which are just too funny. I like it all, really.Trinity B. just wrote this gem …Tuesday’s Prayers {Weekly Link-up}

Oh! I LOVE all of this, especially the magnets. I need those quotes . . . reminders. And the coffee? This exhausted mama could always use some of that!Stephanie just wrote this gem …A Promise To My Daughter

Okay, I am officially your new biggest fan. You have a way with words that invites me to really hunker down and soak them up…when oftentimes, I’m a skimmer. Here, I want to dwell! (And that says a lot for a giveaway post…usually they’re just a means to an end…but here, I felt like you shared a piece of yourself and your heart along with sharing a great opportunity. That’s a tough balance to strike in blogland, it seems.)

So…I visited the Blessing and Light etsy shop – – so many lovely creations to choose from. But I was immediately drawn to the one with the C.S. Lewis quote: “We read to know we are not alone.” I’m actually creating a banner for my sister with that text for her bday. It’s a favorite of mine!Lauren @ The Thinking Closet just wrote this gem …Winter Mason Jar Lanterns
